There ain¡¯t nothin ¡®in the world that I like better
Than bacon ¡®n lettuce ¡®n homegrown tomatoes
Up in the mornin¡¯, out in the garden
Get you a ripe one, don¡¯t pick a hard 'un
Plant 'em in the spring, eat ¡®em in the summer
All winter without ¡®em is a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin¡¯ and the diggin¡¯
Every time I go out and pick me a big ¡®un
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can¡¯t buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes
You can go out to eat an that¡¯s for sure
But there¡¯s nothin¡¯ a homegrown tomatoe won¡¯t cure
Put ¡®em in a salad, put ¡®em in a stew
You can make your own tomatoe juice
You can eat ¡®em with eggs, eat ¡®em with gravy
You can eat ¡®em with beans, pinto or navy
Put 'em on the side, put ¡®em in the middle
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can¡¯t buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes
If I¡¯s to change this life I lead
You could call me Johnny Tomatoe Seed
¡®Cause I know what this country needs
Home grown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don¡¯t bury me
In a box in a cold dark cemetary
Out in the garden would be much better
¡®Cause I could be pushin ¡®up a home grown tomatoe
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can¡¯t buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes

| I am so jealous! I always wanted to see him - never did. His music touched me as I was growing up and beyond. I miss him and his music so much. |

| For some reason I don't have this song. Haven't heard it in at least a few years, yet I picked it right up again and sang along like I'd heard it yesterday. Such a sweet tune, and the lyrics are wonderful. |

| bunch of wood hippies built an outdoor ampitheater. first show, had the dirt band, and a band called Starwood. Show was going on great. I' standing at the top of the "bowl" with a lady that meant a lot to me and this guy walks up beside me. I look at him turn to her, said, hey he looks just like John Denver. she looks around me says, thats because it IS john denver. seems he was sponsering the band Starwood. We had a great time that day. |

| In 1986 I made my 1st of many trips to Colorado.I was 27-imagine that. I went to Aspen just to see if I might run into John. I had breakfast in a nice little place by where I had spent the night. While I was eating-John came in with another guy and sat at the table near me. What was the chances of that? |
